Both of these broken:

It works well when running bun x gobot pocketbase serve and creates pb_data & pb_migrations folder in the directory i ran it

But after adding a simple html file in pb_public folder in the same directory it fails to detect it and results in a data not found

As illustrated in this vid

const bot = await gobot(`pocketbase/pocketbase`, { version: `~0.22.12` });

bot.exePath // ???????

Need to know where Gobot downloaded the binary. For example if I want to run ./pocketbase migrations create with said binary.

const bot = gobot("pocketbase");
bot.versions(["~0.21.0"]);

Error: No release satisfying version ~0.22.8 for win32/x64

https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/releases/tag/v0.22.8

Works when I set it to ~0.22.7 via:

import { gobot } from "gobot";
import { fileURLToPath } from "url";
import { dirname, join } from "path";

const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);

const bot = await gobot(`pocketbase/pocketbase`, { version: `~0.22.8` });
bot.run([`-v`]);
bot.run([`serve`, `--dir=${join(__dirname, "pb_data")}`]);

First it complained with this code:

import { gobot } from "gobot";
const bot = await gobot(`pocketbase`);
bot.run([`--help`]);

Error: pocketbase is not a binary known to Gobot. Try user/repo

this fixed that error:

import { gobot } from "gobot";
const bot = await gobot(`pocketbase/pocketbase`);
bot.run([`--help`]);

Got to say, its a major issue that code copied right off the README does not work. Anyway, after fixing the code, it appears pocketbase.exe downloads correctly, but the error says:

Error: Could not find pocketbase.exe anywhere in path C:\Users\toryb\AppData\Local\gobot-nodejs\Cache\pocketbase\pocketbase\archives\0.22.7\x64\win32

Which is imply not true, ls C:\Users\toryb\AppData\Local\gobot-nodejs\Cache\pocketbase\pocketbase\archives\0.22.7\x64\win32 reveals pocketbase.exe is right there in the folder.

pocketbase.exe version 0.22.7
Error: unknown command "serve --dir 'C:\\Users\\toryb\\source\\repos\\Failreactor-Pocketbase - JS\\pb_data'" for "pocketbase.exe"
Run 'pocketbase.exe --help' for usage.

I have my index.js and my /pb_data in the same folder, I think most people will do this. Otherwise, wouldn't upgrading the PB version via GotBot create a new pb_data?

Anways, Gobot is not correctly passing the args to pocketbase it seems. As running the command manually works fine:

C:\Users\toryb\AppData\Local\gobot-nodejs\Cache\pocketbase\pocketbase\archives\0.22.7\x64\win32\pocketbase.exe serve --dir 'C:\\Users\\toryb\\source\\repos\\Failreactor-Pocketbase - JS\\pb_data'

Code:

import { gobot } from "gobot";
import { fileURLToPath } from "url";
import { dirname, join } from "path";

const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);

const bot = await gobot(`pocketbase/pocketbase`, { version: `~0.22.7` });
bot.run([`-v`]);
bot.run([`serve`, `--dir=${join(__dirname, "pb_data")}`]);

Run npm i [email protected]

Broken, color output gone, URL wrong. Exact same index.js code.
